In the Index action method, I pass a pair of string arrays to the view via the view bag and set the model object to be a
string. I added a view called Index.cshtml to the Views/Home folder. You can see the contents of the view file in
Listing 21-2. This is a strongly typed view (where the model type is string) and I have not used a layout.
Listing 21-2. The Contents of the Index.cshtml File
@model string
@{
}
Layout = null;
Index
Here are the fruits:
@foreach (string str in (string[])ViewBag.Fruits) {
@str
}
Here are the cities:
@foreach (string str in (string[])ViewBag.Cities) {
@str
}
Here is the message:

Setting the Start URL
I want Visual Studio to start with the root URL for the application rather than guess the URL based on the file that is being edited.
Select HelperMethods Properties from the Visual Studio Project menu, switch to the Web tab and check the
Specific Page option in the Start Action section. You don’t have to provide a value. Just checking the option is
enough.
Testing the Example Application
You can see how the view is rendered by starting the application. The default routing configuration added to the project by Visual
Studio will map the root URL requested automatically by the browser to the Index action on the Home controller, as shown in
Figure 21-1.
